One word: Amazing. The Wailing is mind blowing and I'm filled with awe. It's too early to say, but it's the best movie I've seen this year. Smart, twisted and menacing. The last 10 minutes gave me goosebumps; and that sequence on shaman ritual is priceless. I don't think I could easily sleep - because I want to keep on thinking and talking about this movie. We're familiar with the horror genre - there are so many of them and they come in different shapes and sizes - but they didn't prepare me for this - I'm utterly speechless. I'm floored that my brain was made to work over time because this movie was such a puzzle and I wanted to solve it. *The Wailing *played with crime and investigative drama, reminiscent of Se7en and Memories of Murder, and some elements of horror, like this year's The Witch (but more brilliant and scary) and the malevolence of *The Exorcist. *Just like the characters of this film, sometimes we think we know things but we have no idea.

The Wailing is the perfect blend of so many horror genres and dark comedy and has an intense focus on detail. It is one of the best contemporary horror movies i've seen.

what a ride. the movie was so damn good, full of eerie suspense and just the right amount of ambiguity that kept me hooked till the end. the cast was incredible, every performance hit hard, especially during the more intense scenes. what really caught me off guard were the moments that made me laugh out loud, super rare for a horror film but it worked so well. what stuck with me the most, though, was how the film handled blame and perception. it delivered a sharp message about how quickly society (and we, the audience) are ready to point fingers at a woman the moment a man shifts the narrative, exactly what happened with moomyeong. it was clever, unsettling, and way too real. overall, not your average horror movie. creepy, clever, and meaningful. i loved it.
